Hi Aarushi, I am assuming that your Grove sensor is similar to this one. <http://wiki.seeed.cc/Grove-Moisture_Sensor/>
The code in the Water Conservation Demo which reads from a real, non-simulated, sensor assumes that the sensor is a Mod My Pi Soil Moisture Sensor <https://www.modmypi.com/electronics/sensors/soil-moisture-sensor>. Your Grove sensor returns moisture readings as values between 0-950. In contrast, the digital output of the Pi Soil Moisture Sensor give only a simple "on" or "off" for whether moisture is present. I'm not sure which method for connecting your Grove sensor to the Raspberry PI is best, but whichever you choose, you can modify the SprinklerSimulatorWithSensor code <https://github.com/IBMStreams/streamsx.waterConservation.starterKit/blob/master/com.ibm.streamsx.smartsprinkler.edgent/src/com/ibm/streamsx/smartsprinkler/edgent/SprinklerSimulatorWithSensor.java> to read from your Grove sensor instead of the Mod My Pi Soil Moisture Sensor. Just change the constructor to initialize communication with your sensor, and then change the getMoisture method to read from your sensor and set the moisture value. You can run the Water Conservation Demo on any IoT board that has a Java7 or Java8 JVM, assuming you remove the parts of SprinklerSimulatorWithSensor that directly depend on the Raspberry PI (such as reading from GPIO pins). Let me know if any of this is unclear, or if you need help modifying the code. -Will On Wed, Jul 5, 2017 at 2:44 AM, MITTAL Aarushi < aarushi.mit...@soprasteria.com> wrote: > Hi Samantha, > > > > I have successfully launched an application on bluemix following your > tutorial for Smart Water Sprinkler: > > https://github.com/IBMStreams/streamsx.waterConservation. > starterKit/blob/master/com.ibm.streamsx.smartsprinkler.edgent/README.md > > > > I have successfully been able to receive simulated readings. > > > > Now , I want to get real readings from a moisture sensor. > > > > There are 2 problems here : > > 1) I have a Grove moisture sensor that maybe difficult to connect to > a Pi.
